The cause of death was arterial schlorosis. Mr. Miller was born at Whitby about 77 years ago but came to Wellesley Tp. in his early years and resided there until a few years ago when he mov- ed into the village. In 1872 he led '\to the altar Miss Catherine Roe, who, with a family of two sons and two daughters survive him, namely :-- Rev. James A.,. of Michigan City, Indianna, Mrs.° Robert J. Tanner, Newton, Samuel J:, on the old home- stead, Wellesley and Edith at home. Mr. Miller was @ man well and fav- orably known in the township. He was a most capable farmer and de- voted considerable attendtion to stock raising and for many years spécial- ized in White Yorkshire -Swine. He .believed in Agricultural Fairs as an incentive to stock raising and good farming and attended most of the fairs in the district and always car- ried away his own share of the pre- miums. The funeral-took place to Grace Church on Saturday, August 28th, where services were conducted by Rev. E. Jacques, interment tak- ing place afterwards in Grace Church cemetery. The casket bearers were Messrs, Alexander Morrow John Few- ings. George Wray, John Henderson, David Harron and John Harron. Many flowers were sent by sympa- thizing friends. ee &@ & FRANCIS WILLIAM RIACH Late in the evening of Sunday, the 22nd of August, 1920, at his home in the village of Atwood there passed away another of the highly respected residents of the community in the person of Mr. Francis W. Riach, in his 50th year, after a serious illness of some few weeks which, in spite of all that medical skill and careful nursing to accomplish wrought its yelentless way and closed the scene for all time. Deceased was the young est son of Mr. John B. Riach, of At- wood, Ont. He was born in the Tp. of Elma in the year 1870 where he spent the most of his time in the agricultural industfy. Twenty-four years agothe married Miss Jane Ella- cott, daughter of the late William El- lacott, of Elma, taking up residence on Lot 10, Con, 18, Elma, and where by keen industry and careful persev- erance they became successful in ac- quiring comfortable surroundings and ample. financial conditions. Two years ago last spring they sold the farm and moved to their residence in Atwood village but though com- fortably situated and prepared for a well earned rest, as often happens it became apparent that Mr. Riach would not enjoy it here very long as his physical condition showed that he was soon to be called to another sphere and though comparatively young in years has passed away to his reward with a bright hope of a glorious beyond in the sweet by and by, leaving a serrowing wife and aged father and mother. and only brother, Charles, to mourn their ir- reparable loss. .As he had been a faithful and affectionate husband, a helpful and obliging friend and neighbor and ever ready to lend a helping hand to.anyone in need and energetic in good measure for the welfare of the people and country at large. An entire circle of friends and acquaintances extend their sym- pathy to the bereaved in this, their hour-of deep sorrow, . The: funeral on Tuesday-was largely attended and conducted by the Rev. B, Davis, pas- tor of the Baptist Church, Atwood, of which Mr. Riach was a: constant attendant. Interment was made in Elma Centre cemetery. ' The: floral tributes were beautiful.

" TRYING TO DESTROY BECK Tofonto Globe At the present time the attack on Sir Adam takes a different form, but the object is the same--to discredit the Hydro-electrie system and prevent its further development. It is a short sighted policy as well as\a cowardly|on the premises of the undersigned one. The people of Ontario are not| situated 3 miles west of Crosshill and fools. They know who will profit by | 3 miles east of Millbank, on the discrediting of the Hydro leader and his policies, and they will see to it that slander and hatred and lying have their fitting answer in a deter- mination that those who resort to them shall not prosper at the expense of the consumers of light and power in this Province. The malvolent brain behind the hid- den hand cannot destroy Sir Adam Beck; but it can, by its clumsy at- tempts to do so, bring about a fiercer and more relentless competition than has yet been waged between the pub- lic and private power services of On- tario, and by that competition cause its own destruction.
